Title: Torpedoed Tanker
Caption: Photographed in 1942 by ZP-12. This appears to be the same ship shown in 80-G-177156 and 177163, after initial repairs enabled her to get under way following her torpedoing. Note hole on side just aft of the bridge, and oil streaks on side, indicating how deeply she had settled. The other two photos mentions showed the ship off the east coast of Florida, (80-13W, 27-38N) , 9 May 1942.
